Disarm Spinner

The Disarm Spinner is a spinner that gives the player one last chance to deactivate the bomb when it countdown to zero in Bejeweled Twist.

Overview

 * When a Bomb Gem counts down to zero, a klaxon sounds, the screen zooms into the Bomb Gem, and the Disarm Spinner  activates. There are eight gems on the spinner, two of which will change to skull symbols. The spinner then spins, and the player may click the stop button to stop the spinner. If the spinner stops on the skull icons, the screen zoom out and the bomb explode and burnout the whole game, the game is over. If the spinner stops on a pair of gems, the game continues. You will then be returned to the gem board and 6 more twist will be added to any other Bomb Gems on the board.


 * Each time a Bomb Gem counts down to zero, the Disarm Spinner is activated with another two gems replaced with skull icons. This means that the first time you encounter the Disarm Spinner, you have a 3 in 4 chance of continuing your game; the second time a 2 in 4 chance; and the third time a 1 in 4 chance. After 3 Bomb Gems have counted down and activated the Disarm Spinner, any additional use of the Disarm Spinner will give you a 1 in 4 chance of continuing your game, making it harder to deactivate the bomb.

Trivia

 * The Disarm Spinner only appears in Classic mode. In Blitz mode, when the bomb ticksdown to zero, the game will immediately end.
 * It seem that "will you countinue your game or not?' has been decided before you can use  Disarm Spinner, so if you spin into skulls, you turn off the game immediately and try again, it's always spin into skulls whenever you try.
 * The Disarm Spinner is often referred to as "defuser" and "wheel" in the game files of Bejeweled Twist.
 * The text surrounding the Disarm Spinner reads, "Danger: Bomb Critical."
